I had heard so many awesome things about this book before I finally decided to read it myself. It totally lived up to the hype. The story was incredible, there was lots to keep me interested in the story, but it was the characters that kept me hooked. I loved the found-family aspect of this book so much. Kevin, Agnes, Smith! I love them all. They were all interesting and brought so much warmth to the book. I enjoyed learning a little bit about their pasts and how they related to the manor. I thought the world was also super cool, Victorian, but there are cell phones and cars! It was exciting and not something I had seen before.
The relationship between Sebastian and Dahlia is so dreamy. I love how she always smacked him anytime he was self-deprecating. I wanted to keep reading scenes between them all night; I just loved them together. Sebastian's love for her is top-tier and so swoony. Lich or not, the man can get it.
